With the fate of the Oceanic Six fast approaching, 50 artists salute The Twilight Zone, the show Lost co-creator J.J. Abrams says was a prime influence. Like Lost, Rod Serling's TV series served up brain-frying conundrums weekly. In an effort to re-channel Twilight Zone's time-warped tales of eerie behavior from the 1960s, a Los Angeles gallery has put together the exhibit Another Dimension.

Opening Thursday at Gallery 1988, the show includes works like "Serving Man," pictured above, by Carl Lozada.

Gallery owner Jensen Karp says "We wanted to pay tribute to what is easily one of the most influential television shows in the history of the medium. For Another Dimension, artists will reinterpret and remix episodes, themes and iconography from classic episodes of The Twilight Zone."

Another Dimension runs through June 4. Check the Gallery 1988 website for details.
